DOND - The Red Mist
Posted: Tue Jun 14, 2011 11:10 pm
Anyone starting to see these appear en mass?
It seems to be a Perfect Deal semi-clone on a tighter profile, with a feature board that looks more like the Poker Face board, but when you look at all the squares and what's on 'em you soon realise they're in a similar order to PD just with a different layout.
Cashpots on all stakes but the machine DOESN'T display them in attract mode, nor when you stick any money in - you actually have to spend a credit for it to display the CP value. Obviously an attempt to put a stop to the 'peering through the pub window to see if it's worth stopping by' issue. So basically if you wanna know what all the pots are on, it's gonna cost you.
Usual boxes on the reels; does red boxes too; but with the addition of a Message From the Banker button, which gives messages during reel play (usually feature entry or small win) and also does 'Super Message from the Banker' which gives an instant DOND game, going straight to the DOND game without any feature.
Cash and Feature trails same as usual stuff, just with different names - Mega Shot zone doesn't have 'Spin' inside it but instead has lots of things like '3 Feature Strikes'/'8 Cash Strikes' etc aswell as Streak / SS / MS. CoB seemed much tighter and felt like it lands on Bust a lot more than PD ever would, best I could muster was a phones game from it. The bonus is awarded via the alpha - no multi-level bonus on this.
Board is square with arrows going into higher levels, 2nd level annoyingly still has a Mystery in it, 3rd level adds cash amounts into a pot and has one arrow going into a 4th level - The Red Mist (christ knows what that does, tis probably just MS in disguise).
Oh, and the Jackpot can repeat. I nearly had a coronary when it stopped on Yes - and I would really like someone else to say they've also had it so I don't look like I've just made this last paragraph up, but it really did repeat (and I have witnesses!).
